Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Conclusions:
Copper dimethyldithiodicarbamate was analysed by standard visual observation using a 3.2 objective and 40 objective lens which confirmed that the substance supplied was compirised of single crystlline particles and the largest individual size was approimately 3.2microns.  The laser diffraction method gave a volume weighted mean of 2.569microns, medium of 2.417microns and mode of 2.429microns.  Percentage standard deviations for all volume weights were below 1. Coefficient of variation for D50 is less than 3%, D10 and D50 are less than 5%. Thus repeatability of the characteristic particles in the size distribution are within the acceptable limits as per the ISO 13320 -1 test standard.
Correlation between both methods was good.
